## Alabama

Added 2018-03-29.

  - Party-line voting appears in the data as `office` values of `Straight Party`
and `candidate` values of, for example, `Alabama Republican Party`. To
calculate vote totals, sum the votes candidates' received on their own lines
and from party-line voting.


## Alaska

Added 2018-03-11.

  - Because EAVS data are unavailable for Alaska, the `county_` identifiers for
county-equivalents are missing.


## Arizona

Added 2018-05-09.

  - Reporting counties were inconsistent in the use of accented characters.
Candidate name spellings aren't entirely consistent.
  - Returns from some counties do not yet give `district` values when office is
`State House` or `State Senate`.


## Arkansas

Added 2018-05-04.

  - In the raw data, it seems that votes for unopposed candidates sometimes appear
twice: once under a candidate's name and again in totals for all unopposed
candidates. But these totals are slightly lower than the sum of votes for all
unopposed candidates. We've dropped them.

dataverse. Advisory Neighborhood Commission returns are in the `local`
dataverse.

Added 2018-05-09.


## Georgia

  - Idaho House and Senate returns were added 2018-06-12.


## Illinois

Added 2018-04-23.

  - Illinois jurisdictions are counties, with the exception of these six cities:

Rockford. We joined their returns with `county_` identifiers by jurisdiction
and precinct, using the jurisdiction given by the `JurisContainerID` variable
in the source data.
